Take the nearby CTA Brown Line train (from the recently remodeled Montrose stop) downtown to work; walk to Wrigley Field and take in a Cubs baseball game; take music lessons at the nearby Old Town School of Folk Music or art lessons around the corner at the newly-relocated Lill Street Gallery and Art Center on Ravenswood Avenue; grab a fresh loaf of bread or a sweetroll from two nearby Montrose Ave. bakeries; sip a cup of coffee and browse a newspaper at several Montrose Ave. coffeehouses (including Starbuck's)and then try the many multi-ethnic eateries on the same hip street.

For evening entertainment, head over to hot, happening nearby Southport Avenue and see a movie at the Music-Box theater (a spectacular 1920s movie palace)or hit the many pubs and restaurants you'll find there. Or cruise on over to the ever-lively nightlife scene around Wrigley Field! Or simply just pull your bike out of your large basement storage locker and ride to nearby Welles Park (to the west), Lincoln Park (to the east) or the beach! From your apartment in our beautiful Tudors on Hermitage building you can access all of the many exciting activities in the hot Lincoln Square/Ravenswood, Lakeview/Wrigleyville and North Center neighborhood areas with ease!
